look at what happened in the last election, the republican party looked and said, afterwards, wow, we have to change the way we talk about immigrants because it's costingous votes. the fact of the matter is latinos voted overwhelmingly for democrats in the election, and a number of house races which were supposed to be tossups went to democrats because latinos in the areas voted 75% in favor of democrats. republicans are like we have to think of a new way to talk immigration, but there's an ongoing problem that people have, particularly in the areas talked about here which were once mexican and taken from mexico at the end of the war where the presence of mexican people make anglos feel uncomfortable, at least some anglos leading to an anti-immigration rhetoric. very good point. yeah? >> [inaudible] i'd like to ask you to comment in view of your observations on the antiwar sentiments that prevailed after the u.s.-mexican war, why there seems to be such popularity affiliated with the filibuster movement? william walker invaded baja? >> yes. that didn't go well. yeah, you -- >> all of t

in america you're governed by the results of the last three elections, not just the last election in most other democracies. that's why you have this deadlock. i do believe the 2012 election moved us in this direction. so no, i don't think the president's caved totally. he's made some reasonable compromises with reality. the point that he's inviting, hesitating, is just wholly inaccurate. he doesn't have to invite hostage taking. the notion that the president pounds his fists and makes things happen the way he wants, it's the american political system. >> you spent three decades in that building. you know how parody congress has become, how disappointing the recent negotiations has been, pushed up against this deadline. do you feel like you're going out on a low note? >> no, i don't personalize these things. i do want to stress, it is not people getting too bess mystic. congress was functioning well with the president up until 2011. in 2007 and 2008 when george bush was president, i became chairman of the financial services committee. i'm very proud of what former secretary paulson s
